What makes you a great company to work for?:

It’s a fact. We love filling our stores with unique, one-of-a-kind products. That’s why we’ve applied the same kind of thinking to our graduate programmes, and made them a bit different from most, so we really stand out from the competition.

What’s so different about Off-Price retail?It’s a lean business model without frills or fancy extras.It involves buying when we find something amazing – much like our customers do – all year round and as close to season as possible to get the best deal.No two deals are ever the same, and Buyers are in the market all the time with an open brief to buy anything – as long as it’ll wow customers.And as we pay our invoices quickly, collect product from vendors, and don’t return or cancel orders, they love doing business with us, which puts us in a great position to negotiate on price.

Graduates join TJX because we offer unique career progression prospects and the training and development we offer are unparalleled. We are less structured than many businesses and we are constantly evolving – which allows us to react quickly to new opportunities.

Joining us as a graduate is a proper job with real responsibilities. This will be your opportunity to learn a variety of new, practical skills and make a real impact within your department. It's an eye opening experience which will enable you to build upon your university skills whilst gaining a valuable insight into our business. You'll become part of a team and make the role your own - paving the way for your career with TK Maxx.

Employers constantly tell us that there is nothing that impresses them more than a graduate who has properly researched the company and really knows why they want to work there - so make sure that you tell them in your application that you have read-up all about them on TheJobCrowd and so you really know what makes that company great and why they are right for you. It will help your application, we promise!
